If you can reasonably have the entire bottom layer be connected to ground without the top layer being too crowded, 2 layers could work.
Wires to the underside components? Can you solder them to thru-holes on the underside of the PCB instead?
You can put the MCU and other circuitry on the underside, but perhaps use at least a 3-layer PCB so you can run an internal ground plane under the power components.
Is this keyboard a one-off or are you doing production runs? Try to keep all the SMD components on the same side if you can.
If you’re using the pico rather than a bare RP2040, you’ll have a much harder time putting anything on the underside though.
The past is definitely not a guide for how to achieve a future society or how that society should look, but it does remind us that a society without a state can exist.
It’s not the hard part, but when we’re told that thoughts of a stateless society are fantastical it’s good to remember that it has been done before.
Oof, not a fan of that. Calling it a ‘big tent’ is just a cop out for not vetting who you find.
If you don’t want to do the due diligence that’s fine, give your money to existing funds who are willing to do it for you.
What’s this about them funding Nazis? Can somebody fill me in?
I use NixOS, but it is not for learning how Linux works; realistically it’s for when you already know how Linux typically works, so you can understand when it breaks some of those norms.
If you want to learn how containers etc work, use straight-up Debian.
I really don’t recommend arch for a server. On a desktop absolutely but what I want for a server is to be able to let it sit for 6 months, then update it and not have everything break; arch works best with frequent update hygiene.
I used nushell for a good 6 months, it was nice having structured data, but the syntax difference to bash which I use for my day job was just too jarring to stick with.
Fish was (for me) the right balance of nice syntactic sugar and being able to reasonably expect a bash idiom will work.
Browsers are one of the most important things to update on your computer.
We can talk about whether browsers should be as complicated as they are, but implying security updates are a intended as a vector of control is conspiricist thinking.
The reason you don’t get security updates backported to your older release of choice is simple: it is so much work.
Waterfox seems like a good choice, just don’t go around thinking that companies are making security updates in order to sneak in unwanted, they make security updates because they are terrified of being responsible for a major incident.
Makes me appreciate that my country’s typical honourific (mate) is gender neutral.
If any were it’s not like we would know, secrecy being rather important to that kind of activity.
Most GPUs will have fan spin & lights if only on pcie power (the pcie slot provides 75W without external connection), but then misbehave during display; I know it sounds stupid but make sure the 12V power connector on the top of the card is firmly plugged in, that connector in particular has a reputation for being unreliable.
They don’t have to care about the minority affected to be impacted; it affects readiness, which will affect them.
Laws which cause people to leave due to feeling unsafe will require others to be brought in to fill their roles, who are in-turn coming from somewhere else.
It’s not a crippling issue (for a military) by any means, but laws that fuck with the readiness of a base piss a lot of people off.
Definitely not saying any military is a font of diversity and acceptance, but their most important asset is their logistics so fucking with that will not win you a ton of friends there.
This is unfortunate but not exactly surprising, I’ve quite liked bcachefs for its features but I swear every release has been accompanied by issues with Kent expecting exceptions to standard procedure be made for bcachefs. When you manage an open source project as big as Linux that’s just not sustainable, and it’s frustrating to see Kent not recognise why the onus is on him to make the necessary accommodations.
I just want a diversity of architecture styles to be common, I love areas that are an eclectic mix of styles; it makes me feel like so many different people care about the area.
C because it’s what is used for low-end linux & embedded work.
Shell scripts because they’re the caulk that holds a Linux distro together.
Rust when possible because it’s how I wish systems programming could be.
Seems like the more important take is that 68.5% do not want (or at least does not prefer) the most popular candidate, that’s a level of fractured that should be prompting some introspection from the party.
I was a “ironically” racist as a young teen, it took me till my early adulthood to realise that being ironically racist is just being racist, and the edgy “humour” that is made at others expense isn’t funny or clever, and is incompatible with the kind, empathetic person I wanted to be.
Cringing at my teen self pushes me further into deprogramming myself from that shit, but I’m encouraged by the adage “if you don’t look at yourself from a decade ago and cringe, you wasted that decade”.
I remember old Tesla and Firepro drivers had a jank, proprietary alternative to SR-IOV but didn’t think any vendor (except Intel with i915’s GVT-g) had an implementation for their consumer devices.
I was halfway through a message about return path impedance, but remembered the pico is a carrier board with its ground built in it’s USB connector, and the switches are hardly going to care.
My bad, you’ll be fine 👍
